Commentators: Tim E.D. & John Johnson.
Nemesis corners Johnson to start the show, looking for revenge for the Ambassadors' previous attack on Shadow Jackson. Nemesis calls out Jacoby Boykins & Chris Mayne, but Johnson hits Nemesis with a cheapshot from behind...the Ambassadors take advantage of that situation. The locker room finally empties to chase off the heels.
The Hate Junkies(Dany Only & Stryknyn) vs. The Texas Tornadoes(Galan Ramirez & Jacob Kilgore): So who are the faces in this matchup? Oddly enough, it turns out to be the Hate Junkies as the Tornadoes dish out some double-team abuse on Stryknyn. Only gets a hot tag and cleans house while Stryknyn disposes of Kilgore on the floor...then Only brings Stryknyn back in for the Hate Crime(assisted superbomb) and pin on Ramirez. The fans approve!
Young Lions' Gauntlet Match: Each segment of the match has a five-minute time limit, so there can be a double-elimination through a time-limit draw...the winner gets a future title shot at new champion Anthony Henry. We start with tag team partners C.B. Gibson and Tommy Daniels...after some good competitive action, Gibson gets the three-count with a Code Red.
Gibson tries to help his partner but Daniels just rolls out of the ring...allowing the third entrant(The Vandal) to attack Gibson from behind. Daniels notably remains at ringside, then jumps up on the apron to argue with the referee...conveniently screwing up his partner's attempt to hit the ropes. Vandal bashes Gibson out of the ring...Daniels throws his partner back into the fray, leading to Vandal finishing the job with an Eye Of The Hurricane.
Competitor number four is Dustin Knight who hits the ring with a flurry of offense on Vandal...Vandal endures the assault, making a good impression in his Anarchy debut. However, Knight comes back to win with a flying neckbreaker.
Entry #5 is Andrew Pendleton III...they have a strong exchange leading to AP3 getting the cheap rollup with feet on the ropes.
#6 is Jacob Ashworth...he's not happy about Pendleton's underhanded tactics. AP3 offers a handshake but Ashworth sees the cheapshot coming a mile away. Pendleton blocks Ashes To Ashes(full nelson wheelbarrow faceplanet) but Jacob maneuvers into the inverted swinging neckbreaker instead and gets the three-count!
#7 is Skirra Corvus...so this is an interesting face vs. face finale. Corvus is fresh but Ashworth cuts him off with his power advantage. Ashworth tries to set up a superplex, but Corvus fights him off and nails the Steamboat Press for the three-count and the victory! The two shake hands after the match...Corvus has a future shot at the Young Lions' Title!
Slim J & Bryan Cassanova vs. Se7en & Lane Vasser(w/ Jeff G. Bailey) for the Tag Team Titles: Bailey enlightens us before the matchup...the agent/attorney took measures to bar Mikael Judas from the building for the night and also ensured that Brodie Ray Chase wouldn't get involved either. Slim J doesn't even wait for an opening bell before attacking his former protege Vasser and the champs control the opening minutes of the match. Chaos breaks loose quickly as powerhouses Cassanova and Se7en lock horns...Cassanova gets the better of that exchange and the champs stand tall in the ring. Once the heels regroup, Vasser overpowers Slim J in short order, putting the challengers in firm control. Slim J hits Vasser with the Screwdriver On The Rocks out of nowhere, giving him the opening to reach his corner...but Cassanova enters the ring before a tag...and turns on his partner! Cassanova drops Slim J with a TKO and Vasser makes the cover for the pin as Cassanova goes over to embrace Bailey...ladies and gentlemen, we have new Tag Team Champions AND we have a heel turn!
The newly-expanded NWA Elite commences with the post-match beatdown in earnest...Johnny Dangerous tries to make the save but is woefully overmatched by the manpower in the ring. The locker room empties but the faces get bulldozed(Tommy Daniels notably thinks better of trying to help). That's how we're closing the show this week...
